Cathy from NY stated very clearly the purpose of RTI-response to intervention-and it's tiering system. In response to another post about what we're using to monitor students, we haven't really gotten that far yet. I know that with DIBELS you could actually do weekly probes, but that assessment isn't authentic. When you work with kids in second grade and lower, I imagine running records from a leveled book plus some conversation to assess comprehension will be enough, but my fourth and fifth graders are using longer books. Plus, we'll need standardized administration and data collection to support continuing with interventions or going for classification. Are there any other people doing RTI that can comment- and this RTI is not just New York- it is a federal requirement that was inserted into a dry rehashing of the IDEA reauthorization-most district head didn't even realize it was there!
